Catacombs of St. Callixtus Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
About 30 catacombs remain along the Appian Way, and San Callisto is one of the larger and more important ones. It is said that after the recognition of Christianity, the underground cemetery began to expand, and this area alone extends for 500 kilometers. The frescoes and decorations inside are indispensable when it comes to early Christian art. It is said that there are 5 floors underground, more than 20 meters long, and about 100,000 people are buried here. The whole picture is not very clear at present, so it is forbidden to enter without a guide during the visit. Wait in front of the English-French-Italian signboard in front of the entrance. After reaching a certain number of people, you will be guided by a tour guide. Inside there is a "Sacrament Room" with frescoes from the 3rd century. There are also the Pope's tomb from the 3rd century and the tomb of St. Cecilia.

The San Carlosto catacombs feel like a very mysterious and deep, the tomb is not large, the visit time is about forty minutes, no photos are allowed here, but you can secretly shoot! This attraction is far from the city, it is still worth visiting!
It is not possible to take pictures here. There is a commentator who introduced the situation at the time. Christians cannot be cremated, because when the body and soul are resurrected again, find a hole buried deep here. It is like a maze inside, and the timid should not visit it. Sinister.
Recommend to see, this tour let us experience history well, study 2-4 Early Christian history and culture of the century one of the important bases
It is a good place to explore history and one of the important bases for studying the history and culture of Christianity in the early century.
The San Calisto catacomb is a great place to explore history, the tour group is back here, if not for the time is tight, it is better to spend some time here
